MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ And the taskmasters hasted them forward, saying, "Fulfill your work day by day, even as when straw was given you." ¹⁴ And the officers of the children of Israel which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten. And it was said unto them, "Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick, both yesterday and today, as well as in times past?" ¹⁵ Then went the officers of the children of Israel and complained unto Pharaoh saying, "Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants? ¹⁶ There is no straw given unto thy servants, and yet they say unto us, 'make brick.' And lo, thy servants are beaten, and thy people is foul intreated."
